Hi,
I don't want to come across as impatient but I was wondering how I can accelerate handling of this particular issue:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45903?project=1&string=pam
I've listed examples in the issue that pam_securetty has been disabled on other major distros. The main issue is that it prevents root login on systemd-nspawn containers. It should be easy to remove and there's a precedence in other distros. Any tips on how to proceed to get this fixed?

Hi, you can go around this problem via adding "pts/0" or "pts/1" and so on, to the /etc/securetty file. I wrote long ago a shell script to build such containers: https://github.com/shibumi/mknspawn The easier method is to just use containers from https://nspawn.org https://nspawn.org builds containers with pts set in the /etc/securetty file: https://nspawn.org/images/ There is even a wrapper for it: https://github.com/nspawn/nspawn Best regards, shibumi
